Yamaha FG-412

The Yamaha FG-412 is a jumbo-body 12-string acoustic guitar produced from 1998 to 2001 in Taiwan. It features a spruce top with nato back, sides, and neck, continuing Yamaha's approach of offering accessible 12-string instruments within the FG line. Guitars from this production run carry the white oval label, a label style used exclusively on Taiwan-built FG models from 1977 through 2001, making it a straightforward identifier for dating these instruments. The FG-412 descends from a longer lineage of FG 12-strings that includes the earlier FG-412SB, a cherry sunburst variant introduced in the late 1970s. Used examples typically surface at modest prices, reflecting their entry-level origins and the relatively brief three-year production window.
